Meet the White House’s New Director of Environmental Justice
CLIMATEWIRE | As an intern for Dow Chemical in high school and college, Jalonne White-Newsome thought she’d found her life path.
Now, over two decades later, White-Newsome is joining the White House as one of its top environmental justice officials. At a time when environmental advocates are losing patience with the Biden administration’s climate and justice efforts, many of them are hoping that White-Newsome can reinvigorate a host of environmental justice initiatives .
In addition to the Kresge Foundation, White-Newsome has worked for the Maryland Department of the Environment , WE ACT for Environmental Justice, and Empowering a Green Environment and Economy, a consultancy she founded. But in the announcement, White-Newsome said her early career had shown her the damage that companies can do to people.
